My crush on a chair ...

... I've had it for awhile now and the attraction is real.

Everytime I see these Louis XVI-style round back dining chairs, my heart goes a-flutter.

 I love that they provide a round, curvy element amidst a dining room of sharp angled tables and buffets.

And I love their vintage look ... yet they still seem to remain timeless.

Like any schoolgirl crush, I often wondered if I'd ever really be able to get know them ...or if I would have to always admire them from afar.

Happily, this weekend, 4 of them came to live with me!

(We are in the process of a mini-dining room makeover ... new chairs and new paint, so this is just a little preview.)

 

After looking and comparing at several different places, I decided on the Vintage French Round chairs from Resoration Hardware. I'm in love with their linen upholstery and the gray weathered wood.

 

So those are my new side chairs. I think it will be a long and meaningful relationship!

 

And for the end chairs I picked these tufted beauties from Arhaus.

 

Tufted + Wingback + Nailhead Trim = Perfect chair for me.

 

The fabric is a wonderful smokey blue grey linen.

 

Next up choosing a paint color ... I'm leaning towards a pale gray with a tinge of blue ...

 

... and I may look into refinishing the table with a lighter, more natural stain.

 

What do you think?

 

P.S.  If anyone is interested in my old dining room chairs ... they are in great condition and super comfortable.
